Femke Lippok (Leiden University) and I have actually been hectic obtaining and modifying chapters along with working out with a publisher for our upcoming book task. The very first of its kind, accumulating both crucial scientists and brand-new point of views, Cremation in the Early Middle Ages will congregate the most recent thinking and examinations on mortuary irregularity and modification concentrating on cremation in North-West Europe in the early middle ages duration. The procedure and format of the task is unique too: through structured interviews.

Here is the list of the interviews finished for the book up until now:

For interview 15, Femke and I met Dr Jonathan Ljungkvist of Uppsala University, a scientist who has a substantial performance history checking out product culture, burials and society concentrated on the late Iron Age (early middle ages duration) in main Sweden.

Jonathan managed us a large range study of main Swedish mortuary practices in between the 5th to 11th centuries CE along with determining crucial interpretative patterns and brand-new discoveries. Similar to the other chapters, Jonathan’s interview will now be transcribed and he will have the chance to modify, include citations, and include reality boxes and images.

Together, the chapters assure to offer a collection of current work of worth to trainees and scholars alike along with to set the tone and trajectory for future research study examinations for mortuary archaeology and bioarchaeology concentrated on the mid-/ late very first millennium CE cremated dead in context!

We have just a few more interviews prepared and as soon as a publisher is protected we intend to send by the summer season expecting publication in the winter season 2023/2024.
